Doxygen can also visualize the relations between the various elements by means of include dependency graphs, inheritance diagrams, and collaboration diagrams, which are all generated automatically. This is very useful to quickly find your way in large source distributions. You can configure doxygen to extract the code structure from undocumented source files. The documentation is extracted directly from the sources, which makes it much easier to keep the documentation consistent with the source code. There is also support for generating output in RTF (MS-Word), PostScript, hyperlinked PDF, compressed HTML, and Unix man pages. It can generate an on-line documentation browser (in HTML) and/or an off-line reference manual (in ) from a set of documented source files. Doxygen also supports the hardware description language VHDL. is the de facto standard tool for generating documentation from annotated C++ sources, but it also supports other popular programming languages such as C, Objective-C, C#, PHP, Java, Python, IDL (Corba, Microsoft, and UNO/OpenOffice flavors), Fortran, and to some extent D.

A doxygen filter is a program that is invoked with the name of a file, and its output is used by doxygen to create the documentation for that file. Our JavaScript API consists mostly of modules, so we wrote a simple doxygen filter for our documentation. Unfortunately they do not support the modules pattern or have inconvenient syntax for the documentation. There are some scripts that solve this by converting JavaScript to C++ or Java.

It is great for C++projects, but it doesn’t support JavaScript. Our project API is primary in C++, so we choose Doxygen.

There are a lot documentation tools for each language – Doxygen, Sandcastle for C++, YUIDoc, JSDuck for JavaScript.

The main requirements for the documentation are: We have documentation for both programming languages. As you already know ( Coherent UI announcement) we are developing a large C++ and JavaScript project.
